New in Mail Pilot 3.0 Build 7810 Beta 31 (Oct 1, 2018)

  • It’s Mojave day! This week’s update brings full support for macOS 10.14 Mojave, including full support for the system-wide Dark Mode and Accent Color settings.
  • Under the hood, I took the time to rewrite a lot of our theme engine and redesign many interface details to align the app more closely with how Mojave’s new theme controls work – paving the way for solid further iterations and redesigns in the future taking full advantage of macOS. Mail Pilot has a bright and solid future ahead on macOS!
  • Here are the release notes:
  • New: Full support for macOS 10.14 Mojave, including Dark Mode and Accent Color. Mail Pilot’s implementation of Dark Mode is an entirely new theme that replaces Mail Pilot’s previous dark theme.
  • Fixed: Source list occasionally scrolling on its own
  • Fixed: Message list flashing when it switches to or from an empty state
  • Fixed: Thread view flashing when it switches to or from an empty state
  • Fixed: A crash that was a result of the performance update
  • Fixed: New account window closing immediately upon opening every other time during onboarding
  • Improved: Lots of other little refinements and improvements, mostly with the interface

New in Mail Pilot 3.0 Build 7536 Beta 30 (Sep 21, 2018)

  • New:
  • Pick a global default signature, and assign a default signature per-account. Signature automatically changes when the from address in compose is changed.
  • Compose window automatically changes from address and signature based on the recipients of the message, according to how you have sent messages to those recipients recently.
  • Fixed:
  • App now polling for new messages every 2.5 minutes.
  • Preferences window opens over the app when in full screen mode instead of in a new space.
  • Preferences pane no longer clips its contents when you switch between tabs.
  • Perspectives were not loading.
  • Add new account menu was collapsing immediately after opening every other time.
  • Unified move menu was not showing up until you type.
  • Inline attachments were not appearing.
  • Potential crashes when opening the unified move menu, downloading message contents, moving messages, triggering error dialogues, and more.
  • Improved:
  • More performance enhancements under the hood when loading, viewing, and moving messages.
  • Automatically selects first account when opening account preferences tab.
  • Lots of other under-the-hood fixes, improvements, and performance updates.

New in Mail Pilot 3.0 Build 7421 Beta 29 (Sep 21, 2018)

  • Improved:
  • Application state management and internal actions now happen entirely on background threads. This was a huge overhaul of the application’s internal state management that has been in the works for some time - and it’s now available! The biggest place you’ll notice it: when typing in compose while the app is syncing in the background, the compose window would lag as you try to type your message, sputtering a little behind you. Now it should be super fast!
  • Limit reloads on heavy interface components (such as the source list) as much as possible.
  • Pre-parse message bodies and attachments on a background thread.
  • Other memory management and performance updates.
  • Fixed:
  • Themes tab in preferences no longer flips between default and your settings upon becoming visible.

New in Mail Pilot 3.0 Build 7241 Beta 28 (Aug 30, 2018)

  • New: Set a default account to send from in preferences
  • New: Test to add incomplete thread counts to lists (Preferences > Tests). This is currently a “test” because the app may take a performance hit when enabling it. Once the big performance update hits though, this one should be able to graduate out of the tests tab!
  • New: Added test for disabling threading (Preferences > Tests). This is currently a “test” because there will be some unexpected behavior when interacting with messages that would otherwise be threaded (when replying, moving, etc.), and it’ll take some time to pin down exactly how we want these things to work.
  • Improved: When main window is hidden, it now reopens when using the keyboard shortcut CMD+1 to open the inbox, CMD+2 to open Today’s Reminders, CMD+3 to open Set Aside, or CMD+Shift+F to open Jump Search.

New in Mail Pilot 3.0 Build 7213 Beta 27 (Aug 23, 2018)

  • New: Reply to or forward a specific message within a thread. Just hit the caret above the timestamp on any message in a thread.
  • New: Inline attachments (images) now display! There is still a bug for some remote images (not inline attachments), so if you have images not render, just forward the email to [email protected] and I’ll take a look! Also, you can’t yet save inline images to your computer (dragging them will cause the thread view to go blank), but this will come soon.
  • Improved: Made message contents load in the view much faster.
  • Improved: Lower volume on new message notification sound.
  • Improved: Darker message divider in threads.
  • Improved: Dramatically improved performance in certain areas.
  • Fixed: Source list was impossible to scroll while the app was loading messages or folders.
  • Fixed: Keep new message notification sound from playing on more than one notification at a time.

New in Mail Pilot 3.0 Build 7090 Beta 26 (Aug 16, 2018)

  • Fixed: Can now move messages to the inbox using the folder menu or the unified move menu
  • Fixed: Now compatible with SMTP on Exchange servers that were giving errors before. If you couldn’t add your account because of an error on the SMTP step in past betas, try it again – it may work now, and if it doesn’t, reach out so we can debug it! (Big thanks to Yacht Club member Rick B. for digging into this one with me this week!)
  • Fixed: When adding other IMAP accounts, Mail Pilot now allows 4 digit ports by not putting in commas
  • Fixed: Can now paste into recipient fields
  • Fixed: Compose window no longer missing header fields when opened while a reply is also open
  • Fixed: Won’t show duplicates of inbox in folder menu, unified move menu, or Jump Search results
  • Fixed: An occasional macOS Mojave crash
  • Improved: Put focus on message list after sending a reply so that you can continue processing with keyboard shortcuts (without needing your mouse).
  • Improved: Added a test that can be enabled in preferences to make the keyboard shortcuts for moving messages always active regardless of what is focused.
  • Improved: The send button style, placement, and hit area
  • Improved: Changed Jump Search’s keyboard shortcut from CMD + F to CMD + SHIFT + F for now to avoid collisions. CMD + K also opens Jump Search when you aren’t composing a message (it creates a link when you are).
  • Improved: Built internal tools to debug some accounts that Mail Pilot isn’t yet compatible with.

New in Mail Pilot 3.0 Build 6985 Beta 25 (Aug 9, 2018)

  • Fixed: Issue where moved messages would reappear in message list, then disappear again at the next sync
  • Fixed: Issue where messages wouldn’t send to contacts with commas in the name (experienced often by folks on organization-wide O365 accounts). Huge thanks to Stuart W. and Jess L. For all the detective work on this one!
  • Fixed: CMD + K to add links in compose / reply now works all the time (overrides the Jump Search shortcut, which can still be used with CMD + F)
  • Fixed: Messages being cut off
  • Improved: Put the cursor into the reply body, below the greeting if it’s enabled, when hitting reply
  • Improved: Poll more often (every 2.5 minutes instead of 5)
  • Improved: Other under the hood things to make sure everything runs smoothly!

New in Mail Pilot 3.0 Build 6927 Beta 24 (Aug 3, 2018)

  • Fixed:
  • Messages sending as empty on the Mojave beta
  • UI issues in source list on Mojave beta
  • Improved:
  • Re-engineered and redesigned move animations
  • Move animations are now much faster
  • Using our new custom Mail Pilot icon set in move animations
  • Re-engineered the message list’s state management to improve performance and reduce edge cases / bugs (for the curious: it was the very first component I built, so it didn’t jive too well with Mail Pilot’s implementation of Redux; it more purely conforms to it now)
  • Auto-advance immediately to the next message when moving the selected message(s)
  • Open Jump Search using CMD + F (as well as CMD + K)
  • Include sender in local searches
  • Include sender in server searches

New in Mail Pilot 3.0 Build 6831 Beta 23 (Jul 27, 2018)

  • New: Jump Search — Open Jump Search using CMD + K (or from the View menu or the button at the bottom of the minimal layout).
  • New: Jump to View — Jump Search suggestions include all the views you navigate to often, such as your inbox, archive, future reminders, past due reminders, lists, folders, and more. Just hit CMD + K, type the first letter or two, then click enter to rapidly navigate around Mail Pilot.
  • New: Jump to Message — Jump Search suggestions include messages, so you can instantly navigate to where that message is and open it.
  • New: Jump to Contact — Jump Search suggestions include contacts, so you can quickly pull up a list of all the messages with a certain contact.
  • New: Recents Search — If you don’t find what you need in the Jump Search menu, you can select the “search” option which will run a search of your recent messages.
  • New: Server Search — If the message you’re looking for isn’t saved locally, you can click to run a server-side search.
  • Fixed: Mojave beta crash on launch: Fixed: Now able to open files that are attached to a composed message or reply.
  • Fixed: Issue where user could not edit all fields in compose: Improved: Some behaviors of the unified move menu: Improved: Other under the hood and engineering improvements:

New in Mail Pilot 3.0 Build 6646 Beta 22 (Jul 21, 2018)

  • This update picks up with a huge release of the compose overhaul after early testing.
  • The first major hurdle that this release represents is a massive overhaul of the editor. Rewritten from the ground up, the goal was to make it as native and compatible with everything else you might use as possible. In a big way, we’ve achieved that. It’s got a ways to go on performance and some other key metrics, but the basic functionality is already better than any compose window we’ve ever shipped. No longer does the window garble rich HTML messages — whenever you forward or quote an HTML message, it’ll appear exactly as it did when you received it. You can even paste into it anything that was rendered by HTML (or similar rich text), like a piece of a webpage from Safari for example, and it’ll work as expected in the new message editor.
  • Beyond getting the editor pinned down, you’ll also see some new features in this release. Automatically recommending recipients, automatically filling in a customizable greeting with the recipient’s name, snippets, and of course, signatures, are all in there.
  • New:
  • All-new compose experience.
  • New compose editor which can fully render any HTML you forward, quote, or paste.
  • Drag & drop to add attachments
  • Recipient recommendations automatically display for you to easily add to the message
  • Beginnings of Markdown-based shortcuts in the rich text editor (try typing “* “ on a new line to quickly create an unordered list, or “1. “ for an ordered list)
  • Editor now responds to standard KB shortcuts for justify left / center / right, indent / outdent, bold / italic / underline
  • Create signatures with the same editor component used in compose; anything you can do in a message you can do in a signature, and you can copy + paste anything rendered by HTML for faster setup.
  • Create snippets to reuse text you commonly use using that same editor component.
  • Autocomplete snippets by title or contents by typing “:” followed by the beginning of the desired snippet’s title or contents (work in progress).
  • You can now use CMD + K to insert a link. This is a work in progress, expect more work here.
  • Autocomplete in recipient fields now includes contacts from your messages as well as locally saved contacts.
  • Shortcut for inserting a horizontal line in compose using Shift + Enter/Return
  • Fixed:
  • Keyboard shortcut for send (CMD + Return) works from the body
  • Compose now works for those who could not edit the body before (we’ve completely gotten rid of the internal web server with this release)
  • Forwarding an HTML message now works correctly (before, the quoted message would get garbled up).
  • Pasting rich text into the compose editor now works correctly
  • Pasting content rendered by HTML (like from a webpage) into the compose editor now works correctly
  • Crash fix when selecting messages
  • Load the contents of a reply in the thread view after it is sent.
  • Show email address on recipient tokens for contacts without names
  • If a recipient doesn’t have a saved name, don’t use the address as the name.
  • Improved:
  • In this release, we’ve completely gotten rid of the internal web server and the React-based pages that it rendered for some pieces of the app!
  • Manage contact access better after a user changes their settings
  • Batch notifications when there are multiple new messages
  • Autocomplete in recipient fields is now sorted by the likelihood that you are going to send each contact a message.
  • Autocomplete in recipient fields is now pre-calculated as much as possible, making it faster to pull up results as you type.
  • Autocomplete in recipient fields now offers results based on searches throughout the contact’s name and address, so typing a last name should work as well as a first name now. This is a work in progress, so expect some bugs, but these will get ironed out soon!
  • Hide new action bar in minimal layout when replying.
  • Tons of other little things have been improved, internal structures have been re-engineered, etc.
  • Re-engineered the body editor to be more polished and work much more closely to expectations
  • Body editor responds to typed keyboard shortcuts at the expected times
  • Better keychain error message

New in Mail Pilot 3.0 Build 5956 Beta 19 (Jul 7, 2018)

  • This update simply resets expiration code built into the beta process.

New in Mail Pilot 3.0 Build 5955 Beta 18 (Jun 15, 2018)

  • New: Things 3 integration! It will appear in last week’s new Universal Move Menu automatically. There’s more to come here - this is just the start. Curious to hear your thoughts.
  • Fixed: Messages being cut off
  • Improved: Iterated on Universal Move Menu and how it gives results
  • Improved: Show more items initially when opening the move menu by clicking the list or folder buttons
  • Improved: Move “create new” results to bottom of move menu
  • Improved: Center text in move menu result when there is no icon
  • Improved: Don’t change results of move menu search when whitespace is added to the query
  • Improved: Efficiency in the move menu
  • Improved: Continued to build out dark mode
  • Improved: Better size for background of today’s reminders in inbox for new layout
  • Improved: Other little things under the hood

New in Mail Pilot 3.0 Build 5229 Beta 16 (Jun 4, 2018)

  • New: New alternative “minimal” layout setting — This thing looks great in both light and dark mode. Head to settings > theme to try it out.
  • New: Completely re-written and all-native thread view — This is a big overhaul for a big part of the application. It gives us a few new features and fixes now, but it more importantly lays a great foundation for us to do a few other big things in coming updates. It isn’t quite at feature parity with what it’s replacing yet - it doesn’t support inline attachments, for example. But we’ll get it to parity and beyond quickly!
  • New: Linkify unlinked URLs with web protocols
  • New: Setting to flip the thread view order — Now you can choose to view threads in reverse-chronological order, so that the most recent message in the thread is at the top.
  • New: Support for LAN-locked SMTP servers that do not require authentication — big thanks to Yacht Club member Fabian R. for his help testing this out a lot with us.
  • New: Contact tokens & menus — Right now, you can use them to view and copy the contact’s details, and we’ll expand on this menu in the future.
  • Fixed: Replies only showing an ellipses after being sent; now they load correctly.
  • Fixed: Issue where message contents would not display if a VPN, anti-virus app, or connection logger was installed.
  • Fixed: Messages whose preview text appeared to overlap in the message list.
  • Fixed: Some issues related to reopening the window after it was hidden.
  • Fixed: Issue where some messages would horizontally scroll a little bit.
  • Improved: Continued work on dark mode.
  • Improved: Improved parts of the thread view empty state, including that it now shows the same one per launch.
  • Improved: More detail in error message when trying to add an account whose IMAP server’s settings don’t work.
  • Improved: Remove newlines and duplicate whitespaces from subject.
  • Improved: Colored the what's new text to make it more obvious.
  • Improved: Lots of little fine-tuning on the interface.
  • Improved: Lots of other internal code things!

New in Mail Pilot 3.0 Build 4488 Beta 15 (May 25, 2018)

  • New: Beginning testing for all IMAP. There will be bugs and incompatibilities, so only use this now if you would like to help me find any issues and fix them! There’s a lot included here, so I won’t list it all. But I do need to thank all the Yacht Club members that tried test builds of this earlier this week! If you tested one of those builds, there are a number of fixes and changes included in this beta release.
  • Fixed: A crash on launch after adding an Office 365 account – big thanks to Yacht Club member Mike O. for helping me test builds to fix this issue!
  • Improved: Added a badge count to Set Aside in the source list
  • Improved: Further trained automated message detection. Continue to send along your .eml files of messages incorrectly categorized either way.
  • Improved: Better error message when server settings won't work to add an account
  • Improved: Interface updates more efficiently after a full sync
  • Improved: Clarified text for setting to disable sound on message moves
  • Improved: Designed a new icon set for the add account screens

New in Mail Pilot 3.0 Build 4387 Beta 14 (May 19, 2018)

  • New: Support for Office 365 and Outlook.com accounts — Right now the Outlook.com implementation does not use OAuth, so you need to generate an app-specific password in your account to use it. (Huge thanks goes out to our Yacht Club members who tested these accounts over this week: Sarah C., Tom S., Devin A., and Dave R.!): New: New long quote — Added a new long quote to the empty thread view. There are now 7 that it rotates through.
  • Fixed: Crash caused by non-standard characters in a message. (Huge thanks to Yacht Club member Travis N. for all the help on this one!): Fixed: Oldest messages not appearing in the unified inbox when there are only a few messages to show. (Huge thanks to Yacht Club member Dave R. for helping me with all the testing on this one!): Fixed: Crash on launch within the contacts library. (Huge thanks goes out to Yacht Club members Kent G. and Christian for helping me test out different attempts at resolving this one since I couldn’t reproduce it locally!): Fixed: Only open a single preferences window at a time.
  • Fixed: Bug where new account sheet would collapse on its own.
  • Improved: Show account title in accounts list in preferences.
  • Improved: Improved other internal things like the internal debugger.

New in Mail Pilot 3.0 Build 4298 Beta 13 (May 14, 2018)

  • New: There is now a “New Separator” in the message list that will start to show up, helping you identify which messages are new.
  • Improved: Switched to banner notifications by default. If it doesn’t switch for your existing install automatically, you can make the change in System Preferences > Notifications.
  • Improved: Trained the “is automated” filter with more messages (thanks to all that sent them over!). If you haven’t tried the new “de-emphasize automated messages” you should - it’s awesome. Send me the original text / .eml file for any messages that it misinterprets either way, and we’ll keep training it!
  • Improved: In the reply bar, changed ellipses to “Modify” so it’s more clear that it is how you would change your recipient settings for a reply.
  • Improved: Show app updates to the user (instead of downloading them in the background) as long as onboarding has been completed.
  • Improved: Fade action bar buttons when no messages are selected so it’s clear why they don’t do anything in this scenario.
  • Improved: The action bar at the bottom of the window is now shorter, and its position is fixed
  • Improved: Fixed the position of the message counts in the message list
  • Improved: Other little interface improvements
  • Improved: Tightened contacts code to isolate the system-level crash that some users are experiencing shortly after launch (you may still experience it, and if you do, just disable Mail Pilot 3’s access to your contacts in System Preferences > Security & Privacy. I’ll reach out in the coming week to see if you’re up for running a few different builds so we can fully isolate and solve the issue!)
  • Improved: Activate the “next” buttons in onboarding sooner.
  • Improved: Other little things like updating to the latest version of Swift and its recommended settings.
  • Improved: On the server: switched from Mailgun to Postmark for most transactional emails. Not only have our bounces completely disappeared, Postmark is a much better service overall.

New in Mail Pilot 3.0 Build 4181 Beta 12 (May 8, 2018)

  • Changelog:
  • New: System notifications. By default it’s going to be the “alert” style, allowing you to open or complete a message from the notification. You can change it to the temporary “banner” style in System Preferences. You can also disable them completely in Mail Pilot’s preferences.
  • New: Preference to de-emphasize automated messages. It’s only getting the low-hanging fruit right now (hence why it’s labeled “beta” in preferences). Send me the .eml (or “show original” contents in gmail) for messages that it doesn’t catch and we’ll improve its training over the next few weeks!
  • New: The “is automated” filter in Perspectives now works (same notes as above).
  • Fixed: Emoji in subject not always rendering correctly
  • Fixed: Special characters in folder names not displaying correctly
  • Fixed: Some messages not displaying in the thread view (when there was a return / new line in the subject)
  • Fixed: Crash on launch for some users caused by a contacts library we were using. I removed the library and rewrote our contacts code to only use the system API.
  • Improved: Badge count number accuracy
  • And of course, I tightened up a handful of other little under-the-hood things
  • Updates to the website:
  • Added desktop images you can download and use for your desktop, iPad, and iPhone! https://mailpilothq.com/goodies
  • Began testing a new variation of the top of the homepage to try to clear some things up based on people’s questions I’ve received via email and Twitter. Here’s the one I’m testing: https://mailpilothq.com/index-2A (and here’s the original for reference: https://mailpilothq.com/index-1A). There’s a few that I am split testing to see if it performs better objectively. But subjectively, let me know your thoughts!

New in Mail Pilot 3.0 Build 4078 Public Preview (Apr 27, 2018)

  • New: Unseen messages badge count. Whenever Mail Pilot is in the background, the badge will now show the number of messages that have been received (until you open Mail Pilot to the foreground again). This decision is very intentional; I discuss why we don't show the total # of messages in your inbox anywhere (e.g.: in the interface, it's split by day) in an article here https://uxdesign.cc/7-rules-driving-the-psychology-behind-great-product-design-9c930050c24d. The same thing applies for the badge count: we show only messages received since you looked last, and it always clears once you look to make sure you have achievable goals in your email, promoting a major tenant of the psychology of optimal experience. (The article goes into more detail.)
  • New: You can now select MP as your default email app. It supports mailto links with multiple TO addresses, subject, and body fields (it does not yet support CC & BCC, that's to come!). It doesn’t prompt you to make it the default since it’s still a beta, but you can choose it now in preferences in Apple’s Mail.app if you wish!
  • New: Setting to disable sound effects
  • Fix: Fixed a typo in onboarding "seleted" -> "selected"
  • And a handful of other small improvements / fixes.

New in Mail Pilot 3.0 Build 4052 Public Preview (Apr 19, 2018)

  • Better error messages when account cannot connect
  • Removed “reauthenticate” dialog when Gmail’s OAuth is having issues
  • Don’t show messages that have been marked for deletion
  • Other small under the hood stuff
  • Disable menu bar during onboarding (things can go awry!)
  • Disable next buttons until they’re visible during onboarding
  • Fix issue that required “Grant Access” to be clicked twice during onboarding
  • Crash fix for when you repeatedly hit the next buttons during onboarding
  • Some other small under the hood updates
  • New: Message list empty states for inbox and other views
  • New: Big tooltips to help acquaint users with the Mail Pilot method within the interface. Hover over many of the source list items or any of the organize buttons at the bottom of the screen. Plus, there’s a new checkbox in preferences to disable these too!
  • New: The app is now called “Mail Pilot 3” instead of its codename “HL” (want to know why its codename was Mail Pilot HL? Fun story here: https://medium.com/newindustrialist/why-mail-pilot-3-began-life-as-mail-pilot-hl-5968f3202814)
  • New: Dim the keyboard shortcuts when the message list is not the selected interface item so that it’s more clear when they are active or inactive. Try it: see the keyboard shortcuts at the bottom light up if you click a message row, then click it’s body, then the message row again.
  • Fixed: Today’s Reminders would show up with date headers at the top of the inbox, but now they more cleanly show up under a “Today” header.
  • Fixed: Crash when opening an account’s folder list
  • Fixed: Before you couldn’t scroll the blank state in the thread view while messages were downloading making it hard to read the long quotes that are in there while Mail Pilot is initially syncing. That’s fixed now, so you can start each day with a quick, refreshing read!
  • Fixed: Some silent errors where your CC and BCC recipients would not be included in sent messages
  • Fixed: Memory leak in message list during on boarding
  • Fixed: Bug where a message might get stuck in an animation state during some types of failed moves
  • Improved: Totally remastered app icon - it looks the same, but it’s redone from scratch to get every detail right, so now it looks perfect 👌
  • Improved: Source list is now more efficient
  • Improved: Immediately update message list when viewing a folder that a message moves into
  • Improved: Remove scripts from email contents before using them anywhere as that’s a security vulnerability
  • Lots of little things under the hood: updated compilation settings to use the latest Swift 4 module settings, updated dependencies, got rid of all compiler warnings, updated tests, improved the error reporting, etc.
